Rated 2 out of 5
by Firefox user 19640046, 3 months agoFirst I must say the extensions primary function works really well, if that is all you care about ignore the 2 star score or the rest of the review.
Where I feel missed led is the "recommended" tag from Firefox. I assumed it guaranteed some sort of privacy/protection grantee or criteria that had to be followed. It apparently does not as I read the policy of both the larger company and the specifics of the extension. Their overarching policy of Learneo(main company) in general is horrendous with AI trained on your data and selling you info to third party sight and much more.
The worst in my opinion that stems from the extension is that it will send 15 strings (symbols like letters and numbers) before and after EVERY ignored suggestion. This might include personal sensitive details such as, passwords, emails and much more.
So yeah if you care about privacy or privet details don't enable it on most sights or remove the extension entirely.
(Be aware though that removing it will send them information like the URL for the last website used the service on)

- Rated 1 out of 5by Fireblue, 4 days agoHad to open an account just to write that that add-on basically is dead recently. Can't even show basic mistakes and shows mistakes when there aren't any. That add-on is barely working these days.
Also note that Mozilla has removed their "recommended badge" recently for that extension... - Rated 1 out of 5by Voytash, 4 days agoIt can use up to 15 GB of RAM and crash the entire web browser for no reason. An absolutely NIGHTMARE. It has been like that for a month maybe, what have you guys done with this extention? It's absolutely unbareable that you run out of 32 GB ram when having 10 YouTube tabs opened and messaging your friends on Messenger. I can't give more than 1 start at the moment, this is the worst performance I've ever seen in my entire life.

- Rated 5 out of 5by L J Boorer, 8 days agoThis is a very useful add-on to Firefox. It's much more than a spelling checker, having a very good grasp of grammar and a reasonable ability to determine which word you meant to type. It's not perfect, but it's an excellent tool, as long as you don't follow it blindly.

- Rated 5 out of 5by TheTearMiser, 14 days agoSeems to do its job and stay out of the way... key for any grammar and spelling checker. Funnily enough it doesn't work in this box 🤣

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 19769049, 16 days agoUsed to be pretty good. But for the last 2 weeks, it has been eating ram until the browser crashes
